NixOS community

Contributing to NixOS

It’s pretty easy to modify NixOS. All you need to do is get a copy
of the Nixpkgs repository (which contains the NixOS sources as
well):

$ git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git

After making modifications to the sources, you can use them as
follows:

$ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=/path/to/my/nixpkgs

If you think your changes are useful to the rest of humanity, then
please open a pull
request on GitHub, or send a patch to
the nix-dev mailing list. If you want to contribute
regularly, you may want to ask for commit access to our GitHub
repositories (please ask Eelco, or on the #nixos IRC channel).
